"Even in early alpha, Game-Labs' Naval Action is a fascinating simulation of combat in the Age of Sail. But I was curious why director Maxim Zasov was so drawn to the topic that he made it one of the first games he developed at his studio. For Zasov, it's not just about tall ships' beauty and power, though, as he points out, "Age of Sail [warships] were the spaceships of that time …Wellington had 175 cannons at Waterloo, mostly 6-9 lbs. Just one first-rate ship of the line had 120-140 guns, most of which were 18 pounders or above." No, Zasov is also fascinated by the way sailing ships were intertwined with the culture of the Enlightenment…." Main page link

And it's still in development hell… While some aspects are very well done, there are serious issues with the "Open World" and the usual issues with PvP and PvE game modes. |

Interesting? Not so much. When it sees the light of day, maybe (but I doubt it). |

It's a good concept and a good game from a 'sailing your ship' standpoint. I've posted on it before. But as StarCruiser says, it's going through a lot of changes as it's developed. I still log in to 'get my ship on' – because it's fun for that aspect – it does a nice job of capturing the feel. |
